i am spray painting mi old mountain bike flat grey . i am wondering if there is any clear coat to leave it flat but still protect my paint ?How do u clear coat flat paint?
Sure you can do this, we do this when a customer wants the rear bumper painted flat, the only thing that we do is after the paint has dried you should slightly sand it and then apply the clear coat and it looks pretty good and the paint will last longer and will not rust.............

When flatting a new paint job, how do I know if I'm sanding through the clear coat?
I spraypainted my fibreglass bumper with an acrylic clear coat and I'm about to flat it with 1500 wet sandpaper. When sanding it, how do I know when I'm sanding through the clear coat? Does the clear coat come off with 1500 sandpaper?
How hard should I be rubbing it?When flatting a new paint job, how do I know if I'm sanding through the clear coat?
if the cars not white and the dust coming off when sanding is white, then its just clear coat. when you start to see the cars color in the dust then you know that you went through the clear coat. clear coat is sort of thick, so just go till its flat. dont push really hard but at the same time dont just rest the sand paper on it and move it, sand it with a bit of pressure.When flatting a new paint job, how do I know if I'm sanding through the clear coat?
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WET SAND IT.I REALLY CANNOT SAY,BUT IF YOU LIGHTLY RUB UNTIL IT IS SMOOTH THAT SHOULD BE ALL YOU NEEDwindows vista

Clear Coat Paint on Ford Vehicles?
Does anyone know when Ford started using clear coat paint on it's vehicles? Is there a way to find out from the VIN or info tag on the door jamb? I have an old 95 Taurus that has some small scratches and swirl marks in the finish and would like to buff them out.Clear Coat Paint on Ford Vehicles?
Your vehicle does have a base coat clear coat paint job.Clear Coat Paint on Ford Vehicles?
there should be a paint code on the door jam by the Vin number, if not a parts person at a ford dealership might be able to tell by the Vin number ,or try to talk to a body tech at the dealership. i don't think they used clear coat back in 1995 could be wrong.

Can I paint a bicycle with just a clear coat?
So I'm repainting an old road bike, but after sanding off some of the paint I decided it would be cool to just sand all of it down to the metal and give it a few clear coats. But bike-painting ';how to';s always include a rust-proof primer. Are there clear primers? or would it be OK to just give it a few coats the clear paint/finish/lacquer?Can I paint a bicycle with just a clear coat?
Yes, you can do it, but will take a bit of prep.
If the frame is steel it will need to be sandblasted and the clear coat applied IMMEDIATELY. Be well advised that anyplace you touch the bike with bare hands, the print will show up on the frame. Also, steel frames will turn a medium grey finish- not stay shiny.
If the frame is aluminum, it will have to be walnut shell blasted. Again, the clear must be applied IMMEDIATELY without touching the frame. This will turn a greyish black eventually unless you take the time to polish the frame before applying.
Regardless of the material, note that you'll need at least 10 coats of clear, and that every single defect will show.Can I paint a bicycle with just a clear coat?
I never heard of a clear primer. Primers are used to cover up differences in the shade of the piece being painted, like bondo etc. You can try a clear coat, the worst that can happen is you have to do it over again.
You could probably just go with a clear coat but im not sure how well it will protect the bike... make sure the metal is really clean before you start and you should be fine just dont leave it in the rain
